WTF:
@JKebe
On my way to Newcastle, having medical then sign a 4 years contract. Thank you all for your support you've been outstanding

There are two after the tweet. Must be a hack or a joke? It's now on the BBC breaking transfer news page. Agreed, WTF?

[The Prisoner]

Guessing its a frap....

If it's a joke, it's not going to be his joke, he's not that stupid.

[jkkne]

From our side, the local journalists are all denying it.

Radio Newcastle have said its not true

[paultheroyal]

Having a laugh about French connection. Two winks big enough clue. Bloke does what he wants!

[southbank1871]

Fordham has tweeted saying it's a joke.

[The Prisoner]

Confirmed as a joke. LOL @ BBC Sport!

[Pepe the Horseman]

I ain't fcuking laughing Jimmy.

[southbank1871]

Lol @ the BBC for reporting on it. Biting satire from Jimmy on the state of modern journalism.

[mr_number]

Truly proving, conclusively, finally, once and for all, that he is indeed the greatest man that ever lived.

Props to BBC Sport and the Torygraph for picking up on the story so quickly. LOLZ.

[ManchesterRoyals]

[winchester_royal]

Genuine lol. Nice one Jimmy.

[akranes]

BBC trying to retain some dignity now, avoiding his actual tweet.

"BBC Sport ‏@BBCSport
Reading deny Jimmy Kebe is off to Newcastle, and say the information was posted on the player's Twitter feed as a joke"

[glenroyal]

Confirmed as a joke. LOL @ BBC Sport!

Phew! Certainly livened up the last few minutes ...
